So, looks like the good ol' Big Bertha is the winner.
I would consider it a 'different' kit myself than the Ranger. Even though they have the same basic design, the Ranger had a payload section and a three engine cluster mount, neither of which were in the Bertha.
So, that would be 49 years of continuous production. Wow, hard to argue with that kind of success.
The next, natural conjecture then would be: How many produced in that near half century? Probably been more Alphas produced and sold since that kit has been sold in sooooo many starter sets since the latter 60s, but certainly the Big Bertha has rung up some huge sales number numbers over the years also.
Get those golden Berthas ready for next year!
